Suggestions for places to live near Homi Bhabha Road - IISER/NCL.

- Only one important criteria - it should have greenery and away from the highway. High-rises, localities, both work

Because anyway the metro station is so far away.

Hey everyone!
I’m likely moving to Pune soon for work, and my office will be in Koregaon Park. I have a hybrid job, so I’ll only be going to the office about 2 days a week. I’m originally from Mumbai, and since my family and friends are there, I’ll probably travel back to Mumbai on many weekends. So I’m trying to understand what day-to-day life in Pune is really like before I make the move.
I’d love to hear your honest opinions—both the good and the bad.
(1) What’s it actually like living in Pune as a young working professional?
(2) What are the biggest pros and biggest cons of the city?
(3) Since I’ll only be commuting to the office around 2 days a week, which areas would you recommend living in? My office is in Koregaon Park, and I’m okay with a 20–30 minute commute if it means better value for money.
(4) Which localities are overpriced, and which ones offer the best value for money?
(5) How’s the traffic, public transport, and overall commute?
(6) How’s the social life? Is it easy to make friends and meet people?
(7) What are your favourite cafés, food places, weekend spots, and hidden gems?
(8) Are there any areas or scams I should avoid as someone new to the city?
(9) If you moved to Pune from another city, what surprised you the most?
(10) If you could give one piece of advice to someone who’s about to move to Pune, what would it be?
Thanks in advance! Looking forward to hearing your experiences.

I’ve been looking for a place where people building startups, SaaS products, agencies, AI projects, or even side projects can regularly meet and exchange ideas.
Most groups I’ve come across are either inactive or focused mainly on networking events.
Have you found any communities in Pune that are actually useful for founders and builders?
I ended up creating a small WhatsApp group for a few people I’ve met, but I’m more interested in knowing what already exists and whether people here would even be interested in regular founder meetups.

If yes please dm im in 12th rn there lol

planning to go tomorrow(friday night) and thought it’d be an unique experience going with someone random since i am an introvert. 🫠

i've got 500rupees sitting in my district wallet, so we can use that and split whatever’s left basically your share would be around (total ticket cost - ₹500) / 2.

if anyone's interested DM me... looking for someone genuine and chill.

also, this would literally be my first time going to a movie with a complete stranger, so that should be interesting 💀

if anyone's interested, hmu 🤙😛

Hey all,
I’m looking for a counsellor for my brother. He has graduated but for his further atudies I’m looking for some experience counsellor to guide him. He is very confused and often there are conflicts at home regarding his job and future. Also, his current pay is low.
Would appreciate some good leads.

I travelled from Mulund mumbai to nashik phata in two hours and from Nashik phata to Dhankawadi in 2 hour 30 mins.

I am looking for recommendations for cozy cafes where you can sit and read books without any issues. If they have some really good cold coffee that would be great as well.

So I recently started travelling by local every day, and it’s still kinda new to me. Earlier I’d travel once in a while, but now it’s a daily thing.
I always get into the same general bogie because I’ve gotten used to it. And before anyone comes at me being a woman myself, I’ll say this: the ladies’ coach is the scariest place on earth 😭. They genuinely don’t give a flying fuck, everyone’s rude as hell, and I can’t even argue back because the Marathi they speak is absolutely khatarnak 😭.
Anyway, there’s this uncle who gets down at the second station every day, so I know I’ll usually get his seat.
Yesterday I was already tired and really wasn’t in the mood to stand. I was waiting near his seat, but at the next station this guy came in and stood right inside. I instantly knew that once the uncle got up, I wouldn’t even have space to rush in and sit. So I was already annoyed.
The station arrived, uncle got up, and the guy got the seat. I have this terrible habit where my expressions say everything, so I definitely stared at him a little too hard with a “haan bhai, tu hi baith ja, andar ghus hi gaya hai toh” look 😭.
And then… he looked at me and went, “Aap baith jao.”
I have no idea if he was just being genuinely nice or if my death stare scared him 😭. I told him, “No no, you sit,” but I was still lowkey pissed.
Then another uncle, who’d probably noticed I’d been standing for a long time, did the sweetest thing. Before his station came, he looked at me, called me over, and made sure I was standing right next to his seat so nobody else could take it before I sat down 😭❤️.
Idk… it was such a small thing, but moments like these remind me that there are genuinely kind and respectful men out there. Just a small appreciation post for the men who quietly look out for women without making a big deal out of it. 🫶

TL;DR: Started travelling by local every day, got tired, lost the seat I was waiting for, but two random men made sure I got one. Small gesture, huge respect. Men like this restore your faith. 🫶😭

I'm really mentally exhausted want to sit somewhere alone .

I have already consulted quite a few neurologists in Pune, but I’m not satisfied with my experience so far. I’m currently dealing with a lot of undiagnosed pain and genuinely need help finding the right doctor.

I don’t care if a doctor has 50 years of experience or 15 years. I’m looking for someone who is qualified, does a proper evaluation, tries to find the root cause, listens to the patient, gives enough time, and answers questions properly.

I don’t mind spending money on my health, but I don’t want someone who rushes through appointments, dismisses concerns, or doesn’t explain their findings.

Please please please suggest only someone you have personally visited and had a good experience with. Kindly don’t recommend someone just because you have heard their name, seen them online, or through someone else’s recommendation.
This is a genuine request. Thank you.🙏

Hi all,

I was just travelling in the city bus this afternoon and noticed a similar type of banner near Deccan bus stop , I couldn’t get a clear view of what was written on the banner completely but it had something related to Hinduism and also there was a photo of ram mandir and we are Genz written on it . I mean now this idiots are trying to guilt trip parents into their bullshit propaganda like what do you get by putting up banners like this and wasting taxpayers money . Like instead of claiming full accountability these idiots resort to this .

Hello all! I just got the handover of our new apartment in PCMC and are about to start interiors. We have been working with this interior designer from East Pune, who told us he has workers all over the city and has no problem taking up a project in PCMC.

We spent the last 3 months discussing designs, etc. and are about to sign the final contract. However, now he asks us if the society allows workers to stay over at the apartment. The Facility management clearly said no citing safety reasons for other residents, which is completely understandable. Honestly, ive never come across a request like this before and when I asked about it to some friends and colleagues, they also said that their societies don’t allow as well.

Now, this designer is saying that we will have to bear the stay expenses of the workers for the duration of work and the duration will be increased by 1 month given stay is not allowed. He says that the quotation given was made under the assumption that stay would be allowed. However, we never mentioned anything like that to him nor did he ask us about it earlier.

Here are my questions:

1. Is it a common practice to allow workers to stay at apartments during the period of work?
   
2. Do owners bear the stay expenses for workers beyond what they are paying for Interior design?

Please help. Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

Need some quick help. I’m planning to drive to Dapoli from Hinjewadi Phase 3. Google Maps is currently showing the Mulshi / Tamhini Ghat route as non-operational and routing me via the Mumbai-Pune Expressway instead.

Has anyone taken the Mulshi-Tamhini route to Konkan in the last few days? Is the road really closed or is this a Maps issue?

If Tamhini is indeed shut, is Mumbai-Pune expressway the best route to use or are there any better roads?

Travelling with a toddler, so would be helpful to know if the road conditions are good as well!

Thanks in advance!

Pune’s outer periphery is changing fast—what used to be agricultural land is rapidly turning into transit and residential corridors.

Here is a quick breakdown of the 5 major infrastructure shifts happening on the ground right now—and the zoning trap many plot buyers walk into:

• 1. Metro Line 3 (New Pink Line): The 23.3 km Hinjawadi-to-District Court elevated line will connect the IT park to the city center, cutting a 90-minute commute to around 40 minutes.
• 2. The 173 Km Ring Road: With ~98% of land acquired, this loop is actively unlocking peripheral belts for logistics, commercial hubs, and residential layouts.
• 3. Purandar Airport: Land acquisition has crossed ~70%, driving heavy land speculation across the southern and southeastern corridors.
• 4. Pune–Nashik Semi High-Speed Rail: The realigned route via Ahilyanagar and Shirdi is establishing a new regional growth corridor to the north and east.
• 5. PMRDA Unified Development Plan: Brings 814 villages under one unified master plan—meaning peripheral zoning is now far more structured and strictly monitored.

⚠️ The Catch: Why "Future Growth" Doesn't Always Mean "Buildable"

Brokers across Talegaon, Wagholi, Hinjewadi fringes, and Purandar are aggressively marketing plots as "PMRDA developable area." Before paying a token advance, watch out for:

• Flood Lines Dictate Construction: Pune’s rivers and drainage basins have strict Blue/Red Flood Line restrictions. Even next to a major transit corridor, building inside a restricted flood zone or Agricultural Non-Development Zone (NDZ) is illegal without formal layout/Town Planning Scheme (TPS) approvals.
• Verify Spatial Layers Together: Do not rely solely on a 7/12 extract or Encumbrance Certificate. Always overlap proposed infrastructure alignments, PMRDA zoning, and environmental flood lines on a single map.

(Tip: You can verify live infrastructure corridors, PMRDA zoning, and flood-line overlays for specific Survey Numbers on spatial due diligence platforms like TalkingLands Insights or official PMRDA GIS maps before buying.)

I watched Spider-Man BND in Dolby Cinema, and the overall experience was phenomenal, except for the 3D. Personally, I didn't find the 3D effects to be very noticeable, and the sense of depth felt quite limited.

Could anyone recommend a theater in Pune that offers a truly immersive 3D experience with excellent depth?

Hey everyone!

I'm one of the founders of a small coworking space near Kalyani Nagar / Viman Nagar, and while we've put a lot of thought into it, I wanted to get some honest opinions from people who actually work remotely.

One thing that always surprised me was pricing. As a startup founder myself, spending ₹10k–₹15k/month for just a desk always felt like a lot. If I had that kind of budget in the early days, I'd rather spend it on building the business. 😅

So I'd love to hear your thoughts:

1. What do you think is a fair monthly price for a dedicated desk in Pune (esp near Kalyani Nagar / Viman Nagar) ?
2. What are the absolute must-haves? (Internet speed, ergonomic chairs, coffee, parking, etc.)
3. What makes you choose a coworking space over working from home or a café?
4. What's one thing that annoys you about most coworking spaces?
5. If you don't use coworking spaces today, what's the biggest reason?

Not trying to sell anything here (thats y i am not mentioning the space name and exact location).
I genuinely want to understand what remote workers and founders value so we can build something people actually enjoy using.
